DK Tasa apps

DK Tasa, Inc.

	Discovering Continental Drift	Introduces students to Alfred Wegener and his continental drift hypothesis and provides the groundwork for learning about Earth’s dynamic surface and the theory of plate tectonics.
	Discovering Plate Tectonics	Ocean floor exploration led to the discovery of the plate tectonics theory. The motion of Earth’s lithospheric plates cause the movement of the continents and ocean basins.
	Exploring Plate Boundaries	Most geologic events occur at the boundaries of Earth’s plates. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building are a direct result of interactions at plate boundaries.
	Probing Earth’s Interior	Learn how the layered structure of Earth’s interior is key to understanding geologic processes that change Earth’s surface.
	Investigating Plate Tectonics	This app investigates how geologic events help provide evidence to support the theory of plate tectonics. See how earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate boundaries relate to the theory.
	Plate Tectonics Visual Glossary and Atlas	A comprehensive glossary of plate tectonics terms and definitions that includes illustrations, animations, photos, and videos. Explore Earth’s surface features and geography on a 3D globe. Search for specific terms from a list.
	Plate Tectonics Bundle	The development of the theory of plate tectonics has revolutionized our understanding of the geologic processes that have shaped the surface of our planet. This bundle of six apps provides students with a comprehensive exploration of the topic.
	Focus on Earthquakes	Provides a comprehensive description of the causes and consequences of earthquakes. Will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn about earthquakes or as a great classroom supplement for any Earth science curriculum.
	pangaea	Dynamically shows the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea and the positions of the continents over the last 200 million years on a 3D globe.
	geotimescale 2	Represents the timeline of Earth’s geologic history and provides information for significant events. Includes names of the eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages along with their corresponding dates.
	Earth’s Rocks and the Rock Cycle	Learn about the three rock types found on Earth. Observe how the rock cycle illustrates the geologic processes that change one type of rock into another. Explore these processes with the Rock Builder activity.
	How to Identify Minerals	This interactive guide illustrates mineral identification techniques through photos, animations, video demonstrations, quizzes, and laboratory investigations. Learn mineral properties and structures and use the database included in the app.
	Mohs Mineral Madness	The Mohs Mineral Madness app is a tile match puzzle using the Mohs mineral hardness scale. Match pairs of minerals to clear the board in the fewest possible moves.
	Introduction to Rocks and Minerals	An iOS App Store bundle that contains two apps: Earth’s Rocks and the Rock Cycle and How to Identify Minerals. Both apps provide high resolution photos and videos, identification activities and quizzes.
	Arches National Park Geology Tour	With this illustrated and narrated guide to Arches National Park you can listen to the narration as you hike the trails, study the photos and illustrations before your visit, or just take a virtual trip.
	Grand Canyon National Park Geology Tour	Take an extensive photo tour of this spectacular park. Learn why the rocks display those magnificent colors, find out how the interesting pinnacles and buttes formed, and more.
	Mineralogy and Optical Mineralogy series	Designed to take full advantage of digital media technology to empower students and teachers of mineralogy. Using color photographs, illustrations, movies, 3D models that can be rotated, interactive diagrams, and review questions, this series makes a challenging subject approachable.
	Mineral Database	Provides a quick, portable reference for students, educators, professionals, or anyone interested in minerals. Contains hand sample photos, photomicrographs, physical properties, crystal animations, 3D structures, and more for 300 common mineral species.
	Earthquake Finder	Provides a visual display of recent earthquake activity on a 3D globe or 2D flat map of the world. View earthquake magnitudes, focus depths, and times. Also displays recently active volcanoes.
	Folds and Faults	Provides an illustrated overview of two significant topics in geology: folds and faults. Helps to explain how mountains form, how layers of rock change shape over time, and the underlying cause of earthquakes.
	geotimescale enhanced	Represents the timeline of Earth’s geologic history and includes illustrations and information for significant events. Enhanced with artistic impressions of life on Earth over time. Includes the names of the eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages along with their corresponding dates.
	Puzzling Plates	Provides an interactive, engaging experience that inspires you to explore the large, tectonic plates that make up the surface of Earth. Experience how plates fit together. Explore what happens at plate boundaries. Discover how earthquakes and volcanoes relate to plate tectonics.
